Keep the birds happy this Christmas

Of coarse, everbody likes to get treats at Christmas time.... but what about the birds?
Even birds could do with some festive sweets sometimes.
So why not make a bird feeder?

  How to make bird feeders and what to put
                inside them
Bird feeders can be made from lots of things: nets for fruit, coconut shells even milk bottles! See how many ways you can discover- and keep the birds happy this Christmas!

Here are two ways to get you started.


1  you will need: 1 net for fruit (these can be found at supermarkets), ribbon, stapler.

Fill the net with nuts and seeds.
Staple the net together at the top.
Tie a bow with the ribbon at the top of the feeder. You can hang the feeder up in a tree by one of the loops.


2 you will need: thread, sewing needle, peanuts (in shells).

First, thread the needle.
Using the needle and thread, string the peanuts onto the thread.
Tie a big knot at the end, so that the nuts won't fall off.

Now that you know two ways of making bird feeders, try and see which other different types you can find!
Or if you really want to please our feathered friends, why not attempt making a bird house?!
